Yeah, I think I heard those 12 fans shouting that in unison.

JUST KIDDING BRO!

Re: How do you plan to play 24?

I’ve never managed to complete 162, closest I got was around 120 on one of the 2k games. I’ve done the play 1 - sim 5 the past couple of years. I think this year I’m going to use the new situational sim to play some additional games while playing roughly 5/6 games a month at my choosing. That’s at least my intention right now, but that might morph into the 1-5 method. I’ll mix in some player lock as well. I want to get through 5 seasons this cycle and that’s going to be tough with the new college football game

Edit: I do plan on playing through the first five games of the season though for the first turn through the rotation

Play 1 full game per series, and Quick Manage the others.

Hahaha, the boos were raining down from the cheap seats as my rebuilt team was blasted out of the first round of the playoffs in year 3. I might need your recommendation to get another GM position in '24.

I should add for the Mets franchise I plan to play it straight , not sign anyone or trade before the season who is not on their roster. Just want to build it up like David sterns save my money and take a run at Soto after season 1 possibly

Let the kids play !

The first thing I'm doing is signing Jordan Montgomery as quick as I can. By this time next Sunday he will officially meet the Mets, meet the Mets, step right up and greet the Mets.

I still haven’t decided 100% what team, but whoever I pick will be signing Blake Snell day one.

What if he is signed by someone else ?

I'm rolling with Default Rosters day one, Friday. He's fair game in my universe.

Re: How do you plan to play 24?

Looking at how most of you play the game, I will sound a bit "off" but I only play RTTS.

I'm creating guys (no pitchers or catchers, I don't like to pitch and catch) and play 1 series at the time, before switching to the other players.

With MLBTS 23, my lineup was :
1B : Jim Thome
2B : Roger Hornsby
3B : Mike Schmidt
SS : Derek Jeter
LF : Barry Bonds
LF : Bo Jackson
CF : Mike Trout
RF : Pablo Guerrero

Leaning toward having the Guerrero Family (should have 7 or 8 players on MBLTS 30 when Vlad Sr. done raising baseball players!) and few Expos players from the 80's and 90's to complete the lineup in 24.

Re: How do you plan to play 24?

This is also one of my favorite threads this time of the year.

For the first time ever, I will not open the DD tab. In previous years, I'd play DD until the roster I wanted dropped and I start my franchise. It was fine but over the years my enjoyment has dropped, and I really just wanted to get my franchise going.

This year, Day 1 I will be editing my rosters and start my franchise as soon as possible. I like to update all equipment before starting just so that it is over and done with by the time I am ready to dive in.

My franchise will be 30 team control, set all lineups/rotations both MLB and MiLB. I will also handle all injuries (Thanks to a random generator I created, I manually injure 1 random MLB player each day of the season), call-ups/send-downs. The trade deadline is the only day to make a trade and I will do that manually, survey the league and see which team needs to buy/sell and match them up as I see fit.

I play all 162 with the Mets while also playing random MLB games throughout the year. I'll play with all 29 teams at some point, some more than others but always looking for a fun rivalry or pitching matchup. I will also do random player locks with stars and prospects around the league. Once the playoffs start, I play every game of every series, but I alternate what team I control within the series.

Starting in year 2 is when I start my rebuild. That's when I play 1, sim 5 and do some critical moments and player locks along the way. Focus on being as realistic as possible and not go crazy with Free Agents and Trades until we are ready to compete naturally.

I have a spreadsheet to track this all that maybe I'll drop here if anyone's interested.

Play a few exhibition games on Friday just to see what’s new, check out the new Presentation etc and then I’ll jump into Storylines and some DD as well. I’ll play a bit of those modes before starting MTO with the Yankees like I always do, and then going between RTTS and DD once that’s all done.

Nice I have one as well with all teams, all payrolls, all rosters and the players contracts. I need to update it when game comes out but I will share as well.

I myself do 30 team control, and for the other 29 teams I quick manage each game to avoid bullpen usage issues
